A change management plan turns a business change from a broad intention into controlled work. It defines the outcome, owners, affected stakeholders, communication, training, timeline, risks, approvals, and evidence needed to move from the current state to the next one without losing accountability along the way.

The nine free change management plan templates from Process Street help you choose a proven framework and put it into practice. Each model approaches change from a different angle, from individual adoption and emotional transition to organizational alignment and continuous improvement. Use the model that fits your situation, then adapt its checklist to the people, controls, and measures your change requires.

Procurement management is the discipline of planning, approving, monitoring, and documenting how an organization buys goods and services.

This guide explains the difference between procurement and procurement management, shows what can go wrong when controls fail, and gives you a practical seven-step procurement management plan.

Bora Lee, then Manager of Customer Enablement at ChurnZero, helped customer success teams turn strategy into automated, streamlined processes that put the right data in front of the right customer at the right time.

Customer success teams do not need perfect processes. They need processes they can inspect, improve, and prove. Markets change, products change, customers change, and team responsibilities change with them. A customer success process audit gives you a repeatable checklist for finding the handoff gaps, feedback patterns, bottlenecks, time sinks, and data issues that quietly damage customer outcomes. Process Street, the Compliance Operations Platform, helps teams turn those checks into enforced workflows, evidence, and continuous improvement.

At Process Street, we’re proud to rock process management. So much so, we try to encourage a culture of continuous improvement across all of our internal teams & processes.

It’s even in our name. 

So how is it that our content team ended up using a process that was in pretty dire need of a redesign? 

And not just any process, mind you – the process of processes. The process we live and breathe by. The process that defines everything we do – including this very post. The one process to rule us all.

That’s right: Our blog production process was broken. 

We knew it, too. That was the worst part. The entire team was painfully aware of exactly how broken and inefficient the blog production process (BPP) had gotten. 

But you know how it is. Redesigning the blog production process became that thing that’s always on tomorrow’s to-do list.

By the time we finally found the capacity to tackle the process redesign project, there were more exceptions to the process than rules – which is not a good process management system at all. 

So the question became: How do we redesign a process that is constantly in use without breaking everything?

This is how we did it.

• Challenge: Our most essential process… broke
• Solution: Reengineer the process… But when?
• Results: A process that works; a team that’s productive
• Future: Continuous assessment & improvement
